LOL, BP. But I've been on the list for a while now. (and I'm willing to fight for my spot! Grrrrrrr........)

[Renee750il]

ill fight for my spot to. I have been on the list since I was like what 16!

Not to rehash is again - but it seems there are 2 schools of thoughts on what is appropriate ojeriza - and I think that's where the confusion is (with me anyway)...

The school of owners who bide by the wary, protective etc etc

And the new standard which states about attacking judges.

I don't think anyone (except said blogger) has said ban filas.

What the blogger did say is that breeding for the 2nd school of though (the bitey bitey part) is irresponsible.

I totally get what people have described - it is NOT aggression and as BP stated, she can take Bella places and not have to fear about a law suit as she is not walking a loaded gun.

But the CAFIB standard does sort of imply (well does TOTALLY imply) that if your dog attacks it is displaying true fila nature?

So it's not about GOOD filas really.. it's about the CAFIB standard.

Ohh, Mit and I have probably been on the list longer than you, so there. Pfffttt.

And the new standard which states about attacking judges

For one, as Renee mentioned, that is a translation into english and you ever heard the statement "lost in translation"?

For two, I still don't perceive it as someone having a dog lunging, drooling, and basically flipping out in the show ring to attack the judge or anyone else who happens to be standing there. I see it as a dog that is doing just fine in the ring, but should the judge approach the dog and start forcing the dog's mouth open and groping for it's testicles, the judge will get bitten. And should a judge get bitten the dog will not be penalized for doing so.

And for the record, judges do not put their hands on APBTs in the ADBA show ring either.

Ok, that is how YOU perceive it..... To me it reads attack, and to 1000's of others it does to.

Also, it may well be a poor translation - but it is what it is - that IS how it has been plastered all over the internet.... it says attack - in black and white.

It's a bit risky to leave that up to individual interpretation?

Oh, silly me. I forgot that my opinion is just a silly ol' opinion, and that I'm the only one in the whole wide world that feels this way, and also that yours is fact. How silly of me to try and argue otherwise.

Why don't you just run off and sign all the "HURRY UP WITH THE B.S.L. ALREADY!" petitions you can find.
